Comment
Tyler, Davies, and Watson, 1987, Rec. W. Aust. Mus., 13: 549, redefined the species. Art. 32.5.2 (ICZN, 1999, Internatl. Code Zool. Nomencl., Ed. 4) restricts the exchange of ö for oe to German words; Mjöberg is Swedish. See account by Tyler and Doughty, 2009, Field Guide Frogs W. Aust., 4th ed.: 129. See brief account by Tyler and Knight, 2009, Field Guide Frogs Aust.: 154–155. Cogger, 2018, Rept. Amph. Australia, 7th ed.: 128, provided a brief account, photograph, and polygon distribution map. Cutajar, Portway, Gillard, and Rowley, 2022, Tech. Rep. Aust. Mus. Online, 36: 46, provided a polygon distribution map.
